Support small refurbishing shops online and buy your phone used from them, and put Linux or another Android fork such as Calyxos or Graphene on them. Works great for me.

blah! Android forks!

postmarket os is where it's at!

or Ubuntu Touch if you're... that type of person.

wasn't the same thing said about ATM's? and then it created the need for banks to hire more employees?

iirc, technology/robots has only been able to create more jobs, right? or am I misinformed?

I hope moving forward, EVs will be regulated and have modular parts, and can still be user repairable, unlike (most) smartphones.

I don't want them to have that "vendor lock in" that Apple and Samsung are famous for, component wise.

I must've grew up in a very different household then most American's. Practicing religion with my family the Christian ideology shouldn't be any of those things, it should be to spread peace and love, "love thy neighbor".

Anyone who's a far right extremist especially in 2024 I completely agree are all assholes, but I hope I can reiterate that "Trumps Christians" is its own religion and ideology entirely, and a lot of other people, especially those practicing religion in other countries, are actually those peace wanting love spreading people that Jesus was actually trying to spread to his followers, we are commanded not to judge others for we do not have the right to judge, but also not to condemn others for the same reason. Instead, we're commanded to spread peace and love to all of God's children. That's at least what I've been taught in my church, my family, and by reading the bible myself. We do not agree with those ideologies (being a general dick head, being judgmental, harassing people, restricting woman's rights, etc etc) and anyone who does may believe in Jesus but are not followers of him if thats their purpose in life. And it sucks ever since Trump we've all been categorized into that group and painted as the same thing, which is what makes me despise him even more.

It seriously hurts to see how many Church's and Christians have become so unbelievably fucking evil in the states.

I could argue the same thing about Windows 11.

Can you imagine an average person going into best buy and buying a laptop, maybe in S mode, forced to make a Microsoft account and wait 5-8 minutes updating their machine before they can use it, just for Microsoft edge to pop up asking them to change their accent color. Or downloading a program online and a big old popup comes up saying "Available in the Microsoft Store!"

I personally argue Linux Mint is awesome and what's best for most people. my grandma (81) didnt want to switch to 10 or 11 after Windows 7 was going to be EOL, she tried mint and she absolutely loved it.

it hurts my soul hearing how parents treat their kids because of "the bible"

if they actually read the bible they'd understand that no, you shouldn't throw away your kid out on the street because they're "sinful".

hopefully my mother is living a long life then

not all Christians are assholes who touch kids. a lot of (not saying all) the atheists here are absolutely wild

sadge.

Sorry I dont really understand your point, it could be my bad English.

I'm gonna explain my point further; You can make it look like you're using Chrome when you're not, and if everyone just makes it look like they're using Chrome, then developers will only support Chrome and Google can and will pull off whatever shit they want to like Web DRM, just under a different name which they've done in the past.

So the minority using Firefox won't have proper support and will see more pop ups like these from more websites. The only difference being whatever feature the website needs actually won't be supported on Firefox because developers only see that everyone is using "Chrome".

The problem I have with this though is if enough people on Firefox spoof their user agent to Chrome, it's gonna look like less and less people are using Firefox and Chrome will eventually have a monopoly.
